Past
Many thanks to Dr. Roy Legette, Associate Professor of Music and Lilly Teaching Fellow at the University of Georgia, for his thought-provoking and challenging ses- sions on student motivation and school success and how to create a climate of mentoring and sense of community through teacher research. If you were unable to attend Dr. Legette's sessions, but would like copies of his summaries, please contact him at
rlegette@uga.edu. Present
Start looking around at your current research projects. Do you have one that is in progress? Care to share with other colleagues? If so, you can start working toward submitting an abstract for consideration for the 2008 AMEA research poster session.
Future
The research poster session will be held during the Higher Education Division Mixer. It will be in an informal and relaxed setting and provide participants with time to recon- nect with colleagues and share research interests. Please encourage graduate students (and promising undergrads) to submit as well.
